Hunt isn't in that stratosphere. 

They could that good for a threepeat.

We've already forgotten Jetta?

I don't know about Bowey yet

Jetta has not been in this  new group other than cameos and clearly sadly is past his best. Hibbo has until his recent drop been very good for the last 2 seasons and is fighting for his life to be part of it.

BTW that doesn't diminish Lord Nev's career which has just cycled earlier than this elite group at the moment. 

As for Bowey yes it's hard on a 2 time sample but any one with footy knowledge and feeling for the game couldn't have been more impressed with his debut so far. He has adapted to the pace of the game and looked composed clever and team orientated.

His debut has resembled Trent Rivers while Harry Petty took about half a dozen games to find his feet but now looks like replacing Tommo. 

Hunt is a pick especially  for his run and carry and we may miss this in the next month  from our defence but time will tell. This defence is undoubtedly still the cornerstone of our flag tilt along with our elite midfield.

It’s a question asking what in the living hell you were off on that tangent for after quoting what @Skuitsaid. He was referring to footy players providing pablum and you then veered off the highway and into the brush.

@dazzledavey36merely reacted like the rest of the traffic on the highway as you veered off amongst the trees and seemed to accelerate.

Hence the ‘wut’

And then vote for May should he ever enter politics. Candid. Honest. No spin

Jetty was my favourite  when he had to bash his body to pieces going 3rd in against the big forwards who were likely to kick 10 against  Oscar.

It's a pity his day has passed. 

I figure Hibberd won't be part of the back 6 for the ages either. 

Hunt can have a number of roles ,given he is one of the few genuine quicks in the 22.

But there is still room for a long term champion lock down back.

We’ve conceded the fewest points across the whole league this season. It already is a backline to remember.

I am going against my habitual doubts and suggesting it could be a backline that other teams  supporters remember in 5 years time!

He has come good after a shake start.

May,Lever,Rivers , Petty ,Salem..just need one more with run and with  a bit of muscle on Trent and its a backline we will remember.

Imagine just how good Petty and Rivers, and probably Bowey, will be in the future after playing under May and Lever fo 2-3 years.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
